Chapter 3: The River God
The name Ling'er is the nickname of the female water ghost before her death, but she has been dead for decades, how could a teenager know, this made her suspicious, and immediately asked again: "Who are you?" ”
Qin Wuming looked directly at Ling'er and said his name: "I'm Qin Wuming." ”
Ling'er was at a loss for a while, she had never heard of this name in her life, let alone seen him, no matter in her previous life or present life, she could be sure that this was the first time she saw him, and immediately said, "I don't know you." ”
Qin Wuming showed a bitter smile and said: "Now you, it's reasonable that you don't know me, but it doesn't matter anymore, since I've found you, you don't need to be a water ghost in the future, come with me." ”
Ling'er thought that Qin Wuming was going to accept herself, and said a little nervously: "Why should I go with you?" ”
Qin Wuming said seriously: "I can satisfy you, and I am my woman, so I naturally want to be with me." ”
Ling'er was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and when she came back to her senses, she was immediately furious, her face suddenly became a little more hideous than before, and even her watery hair flew up, damn guy, she actually dared to tease herself, what she hated most was the womanizer, so she immediately said sharply: "You are looking for death!" ”
Qin Wuming's face was calm and said: "Angry again, don't think so crooked, you should have tasted my blood just now, you should know very well what kind of benefits my blood has for you, if you can be my woman, my blood can be provided to you at any time." ”
Ling'er was stunned, she was ashamed and annoyed in her heart, and replied after a while: "When I am so coaxed, let me be your woman, your blood alone is not enough." ”
Having said that, Ling'er was also a little surprised in her heart, Qin Wuming's blood was indeed completely different from ordinary people, it was of great benefit to her, and it could even be said that it had a fatal allure for her, and she was attracted by the blood stained on the stone just now.
Looking at Ling'er's embarrassed appearance, Qin Wuming couldn't help frowning, obviously she should be a beautiful and lovely woman, but she showed people with this hideous appearance, with a bloodless face, a pair of blood-like eyes, plus waterweed-like hair, not to mention how awkward her look was in embarrassment.
So, Qin Wuming said again: "It's okay for you to restore your appearance first, I have something else to tell you." ”
Ling'er didn't want people to see her true appearance, it was her own appearance that caused her to become a water ghost, but she wanted to know more about what Qin Wuming wanted to do, although she was a little reluctant in her heart, she still snorted coldly and turned around.
In an instant, a hideous water ghost turned into a very beautiful woman with a bewitching figure, a goose egg face, willow eyebrows and big eyes, and her watery hair also turned into three thousand green silks pulled up, especially the gorgeous red dress she was wearing, which seemed to have a noble and elegant temperament.
Qin Wuming looked Ling'er up and down, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "It's so good-looking, but you shouldn't wear a red dress, the white one is more suitable for you, and it's better to use a tight-fitting cheongsam, so that you can show your upright and backward figure." ”
Ling'er's forehead was bruised, and she was really a womanizer, and what was even more hateful was that this guy actually judged himself, and really wanted to drag him underwater and drown!
Qin Wuming looked at Ling'er's appearance, knowing that she was unhappy again, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Seriously, don't be a water ghost, be my woman, okay with me?" ”
Ling'er held back her anger and said coldly: "What if I don't leave? ”
Qin Wuming spread his hands and said, "Then I have to come hard." ”
Ling'er suddenly became vigilant, judging from the previous fight, it is estimated that she is really not the opponent of this damn guy.
Subconsciously hid back, Ling'er was ready to escape back into the water at any time, but he didn't believe it, he could still chase him to the bottom of the river as a living person.
Sensing Ling'er's movements, Qin Wuming smiled bitterly: "Don't be nervous, I didn't let you go with me right away, you can wait for me to finish the affairs of Dahe Village before making a decision." ”
After saying this, Qin Wuming suddenly turned around and left, and said as he walked: "What you want to do, rely on yourself, I don't know that the Year of the Monkey can succeed, so I will help you complete it as soon as possible." ”
Ling'er's eyes widened suddenly, and she said urgently, "Do you know what I want to do?" ”
Qin Wuming waved his hand without replying, and said, "Of course I know." ”
With that, Qin Wuming's figure gradually disappeared by the river.
Ling'er was full of doubts, Qin Wuming seemed to be very familiar with him, but he didn't know anything about him at all, who was he?
With doubts, she returned to the water.
Qin Wuming returned all the way back to the ancestral hall, and before coming to Dahe Village, he had already thought about how to solve Ling'er's matter, so next, let's start the real action.
As soon as the morning dawned, the old village chief hurriedly came to the ancestral hall, and when he looked at it, he found that Qin Wuming was sitting there cross-legged with his eyes closed, and immediately shouted: "Little sir, you are fine!" That's great! ”
The old village chief didn't sleep much last night, and he kept wondering if Qin Wuming was a real master, although he showed his hands yesterday, but the old village chief was still not steady, you know, the youngest of the mages and Taoists who died in front of him was also a middle-aged man around forty years old.
After all, Qin Wuming is too young, and a descendant who has not grown any hair is really unreassuring.
At this time, seeing that Qin Wuming was still alive, the old village chief was suddenly surprised and happy, he was not killed by the water ghost, which means that he is really more reliable than the masters invited earlier, and the village is finally saved.
After Qin Wuming heard the shout of the old village chief, he slowly opened his eyes, stood up and said with a smile: "The kid is here to congratulate Dahe Village." ”
The old village chief was stunned for a moment, and was a little confused by Qin Wuming's words, but after thinking for a few seconds, he asked in ecstasy, "Little sir, have you already got rid of that water ghost?" ”
Qin Wuming's face froze, and then he said solemnly: "The old village chief must not say such things in the future, I went to the river last night and found that it was not a water ghost at all." ”
The old village chief was confused, and hurriedly asked what was it if it wasn't a water ghost?
Qin Wuming paused and replied, "River God." ”
The old village chief was even more puzzled: "River god? ”
Qin Wuming snorted, nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that there would be a river god in the big river in your village, which is a great joy." ”
The old village chief couldn't react a little, and muttered, "Is it really the river god?" ”
Qin Wuming affirmed: "Of course, with the river god, your village will no longer have to worry about being famine, and there will be smooth weather and a bumper harvest every year." ”
The old village chief has lived for most of his life, he is an old man, and he didn't immediately believe Qin Wuming's words, but said with some suspicion: "Little sir, how can the river god harm people?" ”
Qin Wuming immediately snorted coldly, "Let me ask you, does your village live on that big river?" ”
The old village chief nodded, the big river is the only source of water in the village, whether it is water for people and animals or for irrigating crops, they have to go to the big river to get water.
Qin Wuming asked again: "Then for so many years, have you ever sacrificed to the big river?" ”
The old village chief was stunned, shook his head a little ashamedly, and said, "No, no." ”
Qin Wuming looked a little unhappy and said: "That's right, you only ask for it from the big river, but you have never sacrificed, it doesn't matter when you didn't have a river god before, but now that you have a river god, you still don't sacrifice, how can the river god not be angry?" ”
When the old village chief heard this, he panicked, originally thought that there was a water ghost, but he didn't expect it to be a river god, no wonder even those monks and Taoists died tragically.
At that moment, his knees weakened, and he almost knelt on the ground, and at the same time hurriedly said: "Little sir, we really didn't know how to sacrifice to the river god before, what should we do now?" ”
Qin Wuming lowered his eyelids and glanced at the old village chief, and did not help him, the way of heaven is good reincarnation, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, the kind of heinous thing they did to Ling'er back then, it's time to repay it, and said lightly: "Don't panic, in fact, it's not difficult to solve the matter of the river god." ”
The old village chief hurriedly said, "Please also ask Mr. Xiao to come to our rescue." ”
Qin Wuming waved his hand and said, "As long as you start sacrificing to the river god immediately, and then make the sacrifice ceremony more grand, you can appease the river god." ”
The old village chief felt a sigh in his heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition, afraid that he would bleed heavily, but thinking of the horror of the river god, he could only grit his teeth secretly and said: "Don't worry, little sir, we will definitely hold a very grand sacrificial ceremony." ”
Qin Wuming nodded: "Well, that's good, without further ado, hurry up and gather the villagers and prepare for the sacrifice." The old village chief did not dare to delay, and immediately went to inform the villagers to assemble.
In fact, there is no need for the old village chief to run errands, many villagers also want to see if Qin Wuming is still alive, so when the old village chief is ready to notify the villagers to gather from door to door, many people have already come to the ancestral hall.
Soon, all the villagers of Dahe Village gathered in the ancestral hall again, and the old village chief hurriedly told the river god about it, and the money should be paid, and the effort should be contributed.
When the villagers heard this, they all agreed to sacrifice to the river god, compared to their lives, a little wealth is nothing, and no one wants to be the next object of the river god's death.
The reaction of the villagers Qin Wuming seemed to have expected it a long time ago, so he didn't talk nonsense anymore, and directly said the ritual of the sacrifice:
First, set up an incense case by the river, and the whole village knelt down to thank the river god.
Second, prepare three cattle and six animals, and throw live oxen, sheep, and pigs into the great river.
Speaking of this, Qin Wuming paused for a moment, and after his eyes swept around the men, women, and children of Dahe Village, he said: "The most important thing is the third point, you must do it, otherwise you will still not be able to appease the river god." ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately became nervous, and the old village chief hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Little sir, just say it, we will definitely satisfy the river god." ”
Qin Wuming's eyes froze, and he slowly spit out four words: "Living sacrifice." ”
